Letter to the Editor

Felix wrote this letter to the editor of the Hillcrest Herald. Read the letter and answer the questions that follow.

(1) The Hillcrest Public Library closes at 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, which is too early for many students. (2) Most of us students do not usually get home from our sports, clubs, or jobs until it is after five o'clock in the afternoon. (3) Volunteers from the high school's service club have offered to help at the front desk during those extra evening hours.

(4) The library has the only free computers and printers in town. (5) Without them, students who do not have a computer at home have a hard time finishing assignments. (6) Last week, my friend had to type a whole essay on her phone because it was closed. (7) The library was built in 1922 and has a beautiful stone entrance.

(8) Some people say that staying open later would cost too much money. (9) However, the library could stay open until 8:00 p.m. just two nights a week. (10) Keeping the library open later would show students that the town cares about their education.
